Journal pudge's Journal: Global Warming Evidence 10

Journal by pudge

Isn't it funny how when last year the snowpack in the Cascades was far smaller than normal, many people couldn't blame global warming fast enough, but this year, when the snowpack is much larger than normal, those same people don't count it as counterevidence to the same claim? What's even better is when they say that the increased snowpack is additional evidence of global warming. Pull the other one!

If I were a cynic, I'd say people like Ron Sims were merely political opportuinsts, exploiting the ignorance and gullibility of the public to win points in an election year ...

  • Dude, global warming is so out now man. It's now global climate change. It saves us from having to predict whether it i getting warmer or cooler. Any weather itself is proof that it is happening. Global climate change is all the rage now!

    Sorry, playing a hippy won't happen again.
    • Water is wet.

      Why do "news" reporters travel to wherever a hurricane is going to make landfall, just to tell us that the hurricane is windy and rainy?

      Duuuhh....

      And yet millions of people anxiously tune in to be told the blindingly obvious.

        In case, like in that movie The Day After Tomorrow, a reporter (the one covering the California tornados) gets creamed by some piece of debris on live television.
  • Of overwhelming scientific consensus!!! How can you doubt global warming?

    Well, it worked for the ether. And Phlogiston. And the Earth being the center of the universe. Right?

    I've always thought it ironic that whenever global warming is mentioned the actual "reality" or "end result" (if it's happening, if it does happen, for whatever reason) is an ice age.

    It's the exact opposite of what you'd think. Until you start learning about how the ocean really controls our climate. It's all fascinating stuff. Hopefully, I, and my children, won't be around if all the shit comes crashin down and we really do have a total climate change.

    • Total climate change would happen eventually regardless, it's just a matter of when. Don't worry about your anscetors - humans (and proto-humans) have adapted quite well too all environs through a number of climate changes over tens of thousands of years. They'll do fine. They may even have the chance to live on a different world altogether :-D

    The President and the Straw Men [cbsnews.com]

    "Some look at the challenges in Iraq and conclude that the war is lost and not worth another dime or another day," U.S. President George W. Bush said recently.

    Another time he said, "Some say that if you're Muslim you can't be free."

    "There are some really decent people," the president said earlier this year, "who believe th

    • That was an utterly terrible article [slashdot.org].

      Just like it is not a straw man argument for Bush to say, "Some look at the challenges in Iraq and conclude that the war is lost and not worth another dime or another day," what I said similarly were not straw man arguments.

      It's only a straw man argument if it is a false characterization.
